If you sit back and think about it, Kanye West really does act like a super villain. This isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes his efforts are meant for good, but it just doesn't come across that way.
1. He has collaborated with his enemy like Magneto did (yes, that makes Taylor Swift Professor X).

2. He laughs maniacally but is hiding anger behind it.

Benedict Cumberbatch and his new bride enjoyed a low-key start to their honeymoon on Britain's Isle of Wight following their Valentine's Day (14Feb15) wedding. The Imitation Game star, 38, married his pregnant partner Sophie Hunter, 36, at a medieval church on the island off the south coast of England on the most romantic day of the year in front of friends including Tom Hiddleston and Martin Freeman.
According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, Hunter walked down the aisle to the poem The Bluebird by Mary Coleridge and guests sung three hymns including Jerusalem. As the newlyweds signed the register, the choir sang Beati Quorum Via by Stanford and William Blake poem The Lamb.
A candle lighting ceremony took place shortly afterwards as part of a blessing service, before celebrations began at the reception in nearby Mottistone Manor.
It has now emerged that instead of jetting off on a luxury honeymoon immediately after the ceremony, the newlyweds spent their first hours as man and wife on the Isle of Wight.
They were pictured enjoying lunch together on Sunday (15Feb15) at a pub close to the church where they wed, but they are due to jet out to the U.S. in time for the Academy Awards next Sunday (22Feb15).
The couple is set to become parents over the summer (15).

Long-running musical Miss Saigon scooped a record-breaking nine honours at the WhatsOnStage Awards in London on Sunday (15Feb15). The Tony Award-winning stage show, which returned to London's West End after a 15-year absence in 2014, won nine of its 12 nominations, sweeping all the acting prizes, including Best Actor and Actress in a Musical, for Jon Jon Briones and Eva Noblezada respectively.
The Vietnam War-set show also won prizes for Supporting Actor and Actress in a Musical, Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Set Design, Best Musical Revival, and Best West End show.
Former Doctor Who co-stars David Tennant and Billie Piper shared the spotlight again as they took home other acting prizes - the former Time Lord beat Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong for the Best Actor in a Play prize for his work in Richard II, and his ex-companion Piper triumphed over Gillian Anderson, Imelda Staunton and Helen McCrory to win Best Actress in a Play for her work in the critically-acclaimed Great Britain.
Another big winner was Shakespearean tragedy Coriolanus, earning three prizes, including Best Play Revival, Lighting Design, and Best Supporting Actor for Mark Gatiss.
The Best New Play accolade was given to Shakespeare in Love, which is based on the 1998 Oscar-winning film, and the Best New Musical trophy was handed to Memphis the Musical.
The WhatsOnStage awards, which are voted by theater-goers, was held at the West End's Prince of Wales Theatre.

Benedict Cumberbatch's publicist has confirmed he's a married man after exchanging vows with his pregnant fiancee on Valentine's Day (14Feb15). The Sherlock star and Sophie Hunter wed at the medieval St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Mottistone on the Isle of Wight, off the coast of England, surrounded by family members and famous friends including Tom Hiddleston and Martin Freeman.
The actor's spokeswoman tells the BBC, "It was a magical day."
The Imitation Game star, 38, and theatre director Hunter announced their engagement in November (14), five years after they met on the set of thriller Burlesque Fairytales in 2009. In early January (15), they revealed they are expecting their first child.
Cumberbatch won't have too long to celebrate his weekend nuptials - he's expected at the Academy Awards on 22 February (15), when he will compete for a Best Actor Oscar.

Northern Irish hunk Jamie Dornan has beaten Benedict Cumberbatch to the top of a new Sexiest Man poll compiled by Britain's Glamour magazine editors. The actor, who is set to titillate fans in the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of erotic thriller Fifty Shades of Grey, was no match for Sherlock star Cumberbatch, who finished in second place ahead of Thor villain Tom Hiddleston.
Twilight's Robert Pattinson and Man of Steel stud Henry Cavill round out the top five, while the boys of One Direction, Jared Leto, Pharrell Williams, Liam and Chris Hemsworth, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom all make the list.

Keira Knightley has recreated the famous orgasm scene from 1989's When Harry Met Sally for a new short film. The actress joins fellow Brits Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dominic West, Felicity Jones and Sir Kenneth Branagh, among others, in Jason Bell's new Vanity Fair film, in which the stars recreate famous movie scenes and lines.
Knightley takes on Meg Ryan's fake climax in the film, while Jones teams up with Tom Hiddleston for a Bonnie & Clyde scene, West tackles Marlon Brando's 'I could've been a contender' speech from On The Waterfront in a bar, and Branagh revives Richard III's 'My kingdom for a horse' monologue while chatting on the phone.

Being a superhero would be awesome. But being a superhero that is a part of the greatest superhero team ever (boo Justice League) that's about as awesome as life can get. We might all just be boring humans, but have you ever just wondered what it would be like to have superpowers? Us too. Next time there is an Avengers initiative, sign us up!
1. The Avengers aren't some cookie cutter superhero team that always gets along. Their arguments are what make them so awesome:

They fight. They disagree. They get angry. There is not as much pressure to fit in if everyone is this normal/weird.
2. They play fight with each other:

British actor Tom Hiddleston has surprised fans with a little festive treat after teaming up with country singer Rodney Crowell for a rendition of We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

The video caption reads: "Rodney Crowell and Tom Hiddleston, working on the soundtrack for 'I Saw the Light' take a short break to spread some holiday cheer at Rodney's studio with his wonder dog, Mono."
Crowell is also serving as Hiddleston's vocal coach and working on the film as an executive music producer.

Summary

British actor Tom Hiddleston rose from an acclaimed stage career to international prominence with major supporting roles in a string of hit films in 2011, including "Thor," Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" and Steven Spielberg's "War Horse. " His extensive theatrical training proved essential for these larger-than-life roles, which ranged from a vengeful Norse god and a legendary novelist to a courageous but doomed World War I officer. Prior to his emergence on the international scene, Hiddleston was featured largely in supporting roles on U.K. television, but in the wake of "Thor," he became an in-demand player on both sides of the Atlantic. The following year proved an even bigger jackpot, with a reprisal of his villainous "Thor" role in "The Avengers" (2012) and a starring turn as Prince Hal in PBS productions of "Henry IV" and "Henry V." More than anything else, it was his versatility and cheeky charm that minted Tom Hiddleston as certified scene stealer on the verge of worldwide stardom.
